Royals out in full force for the Dutch Grand Prix

The Dutch Royals are carrying on their sporting summer as they enjoyed the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Park in Zandvoort. 

King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and their middle daughter, Princess Alexia, looked to be having a great time at the F1 racing on Sunday with the king enjoying a glass of champagne during the race.

The family was there to support Dutch driver Max Verstappen; despite their loud cheers, Verstappen finished in second place to the British driver Lando Norris.

The King of the Netherlands chose a casual outfit of tan trousers, tan sport jacket, and light blue shirt. Queen Maxima was fashion forward as ever with a green blouse, leaf-print maxi skirt, and khaki cape with floral embellishments. Princess Alexia wore a black, one-shouldered top with wide-legged black trousers, as well as her Nike cortez sneakers.

They were also joined by several other members of the extended Dutch Royal Family. Count Claus, the king and queen’s nephew and the son of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien was there along with Prince Bernhard’s wife, Princess Annette.
